I hope this is ok to post, there's a Courtney love icon challenge going on over here, if you're interested we'd love to see more people over there, even if you're not there's some very pretty pictures of Courtney over there :)

I'm a vocalist and need a guitarist or a new project to work on as main vocalist or backing. I have some myspace collaboration music on my music profile which you can get to from my main profile (link near picture).

I really want to do something using my influences Veruca Salt, Hole, Garbage or Goldfrapp.

So if anyone is keen and lives in north of the Uk or anywhere (can collaborate online), let me know.

Some inspirational info from me:

I found the lovely Veruca Salt back in a round '95/'96 watching them perform 'Seether' on the tv coverage of Glastonbury and I would say they have been my main musical influence ever since. I really want 2 start a band with fellow VS lovers, but anyone who appreciates music can contact me!

Old Ask Courtney questions and answers from hole.com. Oh the nostalgia.

Q: I have a question for you about song-writing. How do you write lyrics? Do you have a melody in your head when you are writing, or do you just write the words and then the music later with eric or whoever? and do you like set aside time to write or just do it whenever you are inspired? Any tips for an aspiring songwriter!!!Submitted by: Andrea

Was checking out the old Hole.com on archive.org today and thought this should be saved somewhere.

LOVE'S MANIFESTOCourtney sounds off on the state of today's sordid and malicious recording industry in an uncensored quasi-essay that provided the basis for her speech at this year's Digital Hollywood in New York.

Love does the math, delves into the industry's darkest fissures, exposes the miscreants, and welcomes the future's "radical democratization" through the course of her writing in an effort to dispel the corporate-engineered myths that have long plagued artists.

Within, Courtney ponders the Recording Association of America, piracy, new options and equity for artists, tipping/music as a service, and new models for musicians sponsorships.
